The Australian expedition travel company Aurora Expeditions (fleet) has unveiled an upgraded onboard connectivity feature for passengers on its chartered ships Greg Mortimer and Sylvia Earle.
This enhancement comes in the form of SpaceX's Starlink, a service that has been successfully deployed and is now accessible free of charge in all cabins and public areas on both vessels. It enables passengers to maintain connections with friends and family back home, stay informed about news, or attend to work matters, even in the most remote expedition settings.
Michael Heath (company's CEO) acknowledged that reliable and high-speed internet connectivity has historically posed challenges in the cruise industry, especially for expedition operators in remote regions like Antarctica and the Arctic. He emphasized the company's commitment to addressing this issue while providing passengers with a comfortable base camp for their adventure explorations.
While Aurora Expeditions encourages passengers to immerse themselves in the natural environment, they also recognize the importance of staying connected. The introduction of cutting-edge technological innovations like Starlink aims to enhance the overall expedition experience.
Aurora Expeditions specializes in life-changing voyages to some of the planet's most untamed and isolated destinations. Passengers interested in booking their next adventure before October 31 can take advantage of compelling offers, including air credits and the elimination of solo supplements, across a variety of voyages.
